Cauliflower

Snowball Y Cauliflower

Introduced in 1947 by Ferry Morse; an excellent variety for the garden or fresh market. Dwarf plants have dense self-wrapping heads and erect outer leaves that offer good protection. Heads can be harvested over a long period. Well-suited to short seasons.﻿

Although cauliflower has the reputation of being difficult to grow, it is as easily grown here in Texas as its close relative, cabbage. The preferred time to grow it in Texas is during the fall for a winter harvest. If you try to grow cauliflower in the spring in Texas, most years you will be unsuccessful.

It is a great pick-me-up to go to the garden on a cold December day to harvest a perfect, intricately woven, beautiful white head of cauliflower. If you ignore its reputation and give cauliflower a try, you will be rewarded with the mild, sweet flavor of this vegetable at its freshest.﻿

Cauliflower grows well with beans, celery and oregano.

It doesn't like to be planted beside peas, potatoes, strawberries or tomatoes.
